Found these guys several times on a thorn vine (that I need to get rid of) and cannot seem to figure out what they are. I am in Texas, zone 8.
Any ideas?
Didn't know if I should get rid of them with the vine, or wait...

Sure look like caterpillars to me. I am not sure what species of butterfly or moth they will grow into.

Caterpillars in general are pretty voracious, and may eat that vine you do not like, so I would tend to say, let them do their thing, then, when they have gone into hiding to pupate, remove the vine.
